You better!

It does take awhile to get started, though. It's too bad that there isn't a "getting started" server mod which fills the first storage box a user creates with useful items to get going on the server.

Alternately a public hoard for those things people don't want/need anymore would be a great help, if placed near the spawn point.

Hmmm I'm considering this. I've been away from Minecraft for a while now.... might be time to head back in.... would I still see my miner Shego skin on the multiplayer server?

Gasbandit was wearing a Mario outfit last I saw him on the server. It looks like if you update your skin at Minecraft then it shows up on the server as well, but maybe GB can chime in here?

Oh wow, even more awesome. I'll be easy to spot. I'm just gonna say ya'll are lucky that it's set to non-PVP. I'm a beast with TNT and Arrows >:D

It's not "set" to non-pvp, you have to run special mods to enable quasi-pvp :p The official minecraft server does not as of yet support pvp. Or minecarts. Or buckets. Or portals... or etc.

And yes, you can still set your account to use a custom skin at minecraft.net in the preferences section.

I think I'll hold off on custom software for a while, though. At least until we see the smp updates notch promised next week.

Should be jumping on the server later on. Hope to see some of you there. Glad we finally have a place for us.

Wait, can we import our maps onto the server? :confused:

I've mostly refrained from building on multiplayer maps because of the work I've invested in my own world, but if this is the case then that changes things.

Gas, your labeled cartograph shows my little hut but it is literally so small you didn't even label it. :)

Not easily. I got special dispensation from the server admin, and I had to use an editor to copy and paste it into an unused section of the world.

Gas that is incredible.

I just made the dumbest mistake. I got down to a level in my glass mine where I was able to find a dungeon, a large lava pool, and several deposits of redstone, more than enough to give me a stack. I went back up to my stash to grab some buckets for lava, cuz I'd heard that buckets of lava are by far the most efficient ways of heating furnaces.

I got back to my furnace with a bucket of lava, but I still had the bucket selected. So when I right clicked to open the furnace, I DID open the furnace, but also dumped lava all over my safe room.

:( :( :(

I lost all my redstone, all my iron, most of my tools, and almost a big section of my safe room. Thank the maker one of my buckets survived so I could clear the lava out of there. I was so desperate to keep it from flooding that I ran all the way there from my spawn point in the middle of the night, taking 4 earts of damage and setting off 3 creepers during my daring run.

The most expensive way to heat a furnace, since you lose the bucket. 3 iron for 100 smelts isn't how I want to spend my iron. Nor do I want to have to set a timer to run back to my furnace to get the next 36 items into the hopper.

uh, yeah, what Pez said, Gusto. COAL is by far the most efficient ways of heating furnaces. 8 coal = 64 smelts. Unattended smelting ftw.

On a related note, DO NOT USE TINYPIC for PNG files... it totally horks their compression and makes them at least double in size (bytes).

If you're feeling like a big spender when you smelt, one bucket filled with lava is 100 smelts.
Click to expand...
Yes, but as was said on the last page, it eats the bucket AND you have to sit there and tend it because it will continue to burn away after you've used up your stack of 64. It's just better to use 8 coal and come back later.

Just wanted to say thanks go noaxark for offering up the server space. I found a nice little mountain/basin area to work in down towards the southern reaches.

I started building just a bit north of spawn as per Gas's suggestion. Not much yet but it was cool going around and seeing what everyone else has built so far.

Wow, looks like there's a big update for tomorrow:

General fixes:
* players and mobs in lava or fire no longer spam sound effects
* getting hit with a higher damage while recovering from a smaller one now works as intended
* lava flows further in the Nether
* zombie pigs eventually forgives
* added support for custom texture packs
* fixed duplicate buttons when resizing screens
* zombie pigs and ghasts no longer get hurt by fire or lava
* fixed volume sliders now saving properly

Multiplayer fixes:
* hellworld=true no longer overwrites old save chunks. Player positions will still break if you switch it on a running server, though
* boats are now visible to other players
* minecarts move nicer
* fishing kinda sorta works, but needs more work
* sheep and cows look like sheep and cows now
* buckets work now
* fixed stairs being really difficult to destroy
* increased the timeout before “Took too long to log in”
* made it possible to ride carts and boats (pigs should work too..)

Buckets and minecarts working in SMP? :D Oh I hope it's true.
